Than say in the policy "For the choice TLS vs SSL choose SSL. For the choice GTK vs QT choose the upstream preferred; if there is none, choose QT" (Don't pin me on the choices in this example) > Heck, it's hard enough figuring out a usable set of USE flags for PHP. > If we started dieing for the three zillion or so mutually independent > GUI options in gvim7 users would never actually be able to figure out > how to install the thing... The problem is that these flags are dependent. Bailing out on independent useflags is not needed. Paul -- Paul de Vrieze Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.devrieze.net
